STOVE.

SPECIFICAEION formng part of Letters Patent No. 667,010, dated January29, 1901 Application filed October 24, 1900. Serial No. 34,147. (Nomodel.)

[0 all whom it 7nay concern:

Be it known that I, J EFFERSON GARY, acitizen of the United States,residingat St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part herol.

My invention has relation to improvements in vapor-burning heating andcpoking stoves; and it consists in the novel arrangement and combinationof parts, more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out inthe claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side eleva- Lion et the stove. Fig. 2 isatop plan with a portion of the top broken away and watertank removed.Fig. 3 is a middle vertical section on line 3 3of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is ahorizontal section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3, taken through the fines belowthe oven; and Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the stove.

The object of my invention is to construct a vapor-burning heatiug andcooking stove, which can be brought to the desired temperature in aminimum amount of time, one which will develop a maximum degree ofefficiency for the quantity of fuel consumed, one which shall be cheapin construction and durable, and one presenting further and otheradvantages betterapparent from a detailed description thereof, whi ch isas follows.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body portion or entercasing, the latter being surmounted by a partially-plane andpartially-rouuded top, beneath which, at a suitable distancetherefrom,is disposed the crown 2 of the oven 3, the lattter having adoor 4, hinged to the side wall of the casing. Disposed beneath theremovable fioor 5 of the oven are a series of defiecting-plates 6 6 7 750 disposed as to form passages or fines for the escape of the productsof combustion, the said fines terminating at what oonstitute the frontand rear walls or vertical continuations 2 of the crown of the oven, thecentral passage leading to the rear opening 8, which in turn opens intothe chamber 9 between the rear wall of the casing and adjacent wall ofthe oven, the products eventually escaping from the chamber 9 throughthe escape-fine 10. The combustion-chamber 11 forms the forwardextension of the chamber 9', included between the crown 2 and top of thecasing, said combustion chamber being provided With agas borner on pipe12 of any approved forum. Disposed to the rear of the pipe 12 is arotatable damper-plate 13, operated by an enter terminal knob 18 at oneend of the pivotal axis of the damper. When the damper is turned so asto intercept the natural up- Ward travel of the products of combustion,the latter are forced to pass downward from the pipe 12 along the frontwall of the oven and through the series of fines or passages below theoven in the manner indicated and fully shown by the feathered arrows inFigs. 3 and 4, thereby thoroughly heating the oven. When the damper-plate i s turned on, so as to allow for the free upward travel ofthe products of combustion,the latter pass upward .over the crown andclown through the chamber 9 into the escape-fine 10, being caused inthis case to take a circuitous path by the defiecting-plates 14 14 1515, partition-walls 16 16, andintercepting-plae 17. The plates 14 14 aredisposed in vertical planes about the crown and rear wallof the oven,beginning at a point adjacent to the arch of the said crown andextending downward to the partition plates or walls 16 16. The plates 1515 begin slightly in advance of the plates 14 14, their forward endsbeing connected by the intereepting-plate 17 and their opposite or lowerends terminating a suitable distance above the partition-walls 16 16.The fines thus formed are completed by the adjacent curved wall of theremovable water-tank T, said curved wall resting directly against thecurVed edges of the plates 14 14 15 15, so that When the damper 13 isopen the majority of the products of combustion take the courseindicated by the plain arrows in Figs. 2 and 3that is to say, along thecrown down to the partition-walls 16 16 and up along the crown to theintercepting-wall 17 and thence clown again between the plates 14 14 tothe chamber 9 and out through the fine 10.

The front of the casing is provided with a removable plate or cover 19in front of the passages formed below the oven-fioor, which should theoven become too hot may be removed to allow fresh air to mix With theproducts and cool off the oven. The fiat top of the forward extension ofthe stove is provided With the nsnal lids 20, and immediately to therear of these are monnted brackets 21 for the support of a broiler 22,snp plied With gas from any snitablc hose or pipe. (Not shown.) As shownin the drawin5xs, the bottom of the water-tank extends only to the loweredges of the plates 15 15, the finepassages being completed by said tankwhen once inserted in place.

It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise detailshere shown, as these may be departed from in a measure withont departingfrom the spirit of my invention. Vhere the products are allowed tocircnlate over the oven-erown, the stove acts more as a heater than acocker, and where it is intended to heat the oven for baking purposesthe products are defiected under the oven in the man ner indicated.Access is had ro the pipe in the combnstion-chamber and the gastherefrom is li;rhtcd throngh a door 23, hinged along the front of thecasing, the said door being provided with a locking-lntch 24 of anyapproved construction.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A stovecomprising an onter casin5z, an oven having a crown, bottom, andvertical front and rear walls separated by a space or chamber from thewalls of the casing, a for- Ward extension forming a combustion-chamber,a damper-plate' located in the latter, a series of deflecting plates 01'walls for1ning, fines below the oven, a series of deflecting plates orwalls interposed between the oven crown and walls and the casing, andforming fines over the oven, a rear chamber into which the several fineslead, and an exit-finein the rear of the casing, the products ofcombustion being adapted to pass along the front wall of the oven to thebottom thereof when the dam per is closed,snbstantially as set forth.

2. A stove comprising an onter casing, an oven having a crown, bottom,and vertical front and rear walls separated by a space or chamber fromthe walls of the casing, a forward extension forming acombustion-chamber, a rotatable dam per-plate located in the latter, aseries of defiectinn plates or walls forming fines below the oven, aseries of defiecting plates or walls interposed between the oven crownand walls and the casing, and forming fines over the oven, a rearchamber into which the several fines lead, and an exitfine in the rearof the casing, the products of combustion being adapted to pass alongthe front wall of the oven to the bottom thereof when the damper isclosed, substantially as set forth.

3. A stove comprising an onter casing, an oven having a crown, bottom,and front and rear walls separated by a space from the correspondingwalls of the casing, a forward extension forming a-combnstion-chamber, arotatable damper-plaie located in the latter, a series of defiectingplaies or walls forming fines below the oven, snitable partition-wallsinlerposed between the rear wall of the oven and rear wall of thecasing, a series of defiecting-plates disposed in parallel verticalplanes about the crown and rear wall of the oven and terminating at saidpartition-walls,

a second series of defiecting-plates also dis poser] about the crown andrear wall of the oven exterior to the first-mentioned plates andextending a snitable distance above the partition-walls, an interceptingplate or wall connecting the upper ends of the second seriesotdefiecting-plates,a water-heater adapted to rest on the edges of thelast-named series of plates and thns complete the fines formed bctweenthe oven and casing, a common chamber into which the several finescommunicate, and an exit-fine in the rear wall of the casing,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof 1 affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
